The Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) product is a software licensing program for departments that teach and utilize technology. It allows to the latest tools, operating systems, server software, documentation, and technical references for course development. It also allows students (enrolled in academic courses) to have complete access to these tools on their personal computers.

MSDNAA at the U-M College of Engineering (CoE) allows all CoE students (enrolled in at least one academic course during the current term), and regular (non-temporary) faculty to use several Microsoft software products and online resources for academic purposes. For more information about the MSDNAA license, see our page on the highlights of the software license.

Note: CAEN cannot provide support for the MSDNAA program beyond granting access, or issuing additional downloads. CAEN will not troubleshoot or support problems with software installations, errors while using the software, or development with the software. CAEN will not support problems with MSDNAA software on personal computers; each personal computer is unique(OS, third-party software, etc.), and CAEN cannot provide support for every individual issue.
